Figure 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a plan view of an alternative form of pad; and

Figure 4 is a section taken on line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description thereof, and at first to Figures 1 and 2, the device comprises a holder 7 having a back 8 and spaced therefrom intermediate its ends an arcuate front portion 9 to which is held a pad 10 of superimposed arcuately-shaped, tissue-thin sheets 11. The adjoining sheets are lightly held together by an adhesive, preferably at spaced intervals around their edge portions so that when the pad is pressed against a surface having wet pamt thereon, a sheet will be held by the paint as the pad is removed.
